They are not trying and they don’t care what you think.
No matter how hard they try, these tech nerds will never be relatable to the average person

It’s crazy how much better of a speaker he is than literally every other politician. He came on the scene 20 years ago this month and no one from either party has been able to touch him.

SFO <-> NYC and LAX <-> NYC are the most profitable routes for all four major domestic carriers. They are also the most desirable flights for flight attendants to work. So, you would think airlines choose their highest rated FAs to service these flights. Nope. Flight attendant unions mandate that the longest tenured FAs get to service these flights since they are most desirable. Screw the new hard working FA. Screw the customer. Screw the company. Unions ftw.

Am I the only person in the world who didn't like You Can See Everything? He spent three teeth pulling hours trying to make her look complex. She's just a liar. I couldn't wait until the movie ended. Just me?

I’d amplify this and say @SpaceX is the best career decision anyone of any age can make.
If you are an ambitious young person I still believe joining @SpaceX is one of the best career decisions you can make The world is pivoting from bits to atoms and there is no better training ground for atoms than SpaceX It may feel late but it's early Also the mission! 🚀🌕

I absolutely hate these makeshift traffic lights that are all over El Camino. They feel super unsafe for both pedestrians and drivers. Someone explain the rationale please.

Kara's claim to fame was proximity to Walt. Since he left she tries to grab attention by being controversial but just sounds stupid. The best thing we can all do is ignore her.
The biggest charitable donation of all time from @elonmusk ..and these two hate it. Predictable, but sad to see. @karaswisher goes as far to say "it's a ridiculous waste of money" and "only one share?" and "I fault him for it". I used to think when you pick a political party your IQ goes down 20% now I think it's closer to 50%. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

When Elon throw around big revenue numbers, he's done the math. e.g. the SpaceX cell phone is a small part of their connectivity strategy. On their blowout earnings call today, Maral asked whether Starlink’s mobile strategy targets "just" phone subscribers or a “massive physical AI opportunity.” Robots, autonomous cars, drones, AI glasses etc. will all need connectivity. When you pair Starlink with 800MHz spectrum, you can cover every physical AI device in the world. Just rough math: 1 billion devices × $5/month = $60 billion rev. Long $SPCX
Elon Musk says $SPCX could exit 2027 with “$500 billion to $1 trillion” in annual recurring revenue. $1T of ARR would be more than $AMZN entire annual revenue.

The most innovative district in the world has to choose between two non-contributing zeros. Tech keeps going back and forth on Scott. I keep wanting to give him a chance given the alterrnative, but this is the last straw. There's no difference between him and Connie at this point. What a shame.

Does anybody seriously believe that if he was taxed 50% instead that would be a better solution for America’s children?
Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

If @altcap isn’t exposed long, why is it wrong for him to say he’s long term bullish? If it was the other way around you would say he’s talking his book.

American capitalism’s quality of life is so high that a sitting Senator considers a hot sauce merger to be a matter of national importance.
Hellmann's mayo McCormick spices Cholula hot sauce Frank's RedHot What do these products have in common? One company could soon control them all. I have concerns that McCormick and Unilever's $45 billion merger could increase YOUR grocery prices.

Bernie Sanders is mad at the Google founders for producing tens of thousands of millionaires instead of listening to Bernie and only producing one (himself).
This is oligarchy: If you paid $1 in income taxes in 2019, 2020 or 2023, you paid more than Larry Page & Sergey Brin, Google’s co-founders, who became $400 billion richer since 2019. Now, Brin is spending $138 million to oppose a 5% billionaire wealth tax in CA. Disgusting.

Data centers have reduced the poverty rate from 30% to 6% in Quincy, Washington. How? In 2006, Quincy was a farm town of ~5,300. That year, Microsoft put a data center on one of their bean fields. It's now 20 years later and there are ~30 data centers operational. Data centers now pay 57% of the property tax. That bought a $120M high school, a hospital, library, police and fire stations, city hall, and an aquatic center. Population is up ~57%. Direct jobs pay ~$93k vs a ~$53k regional average. Opposing data centers is like opposing power lines a hundred years ago. Data center opponents don't realize how stupid they are being.

Apple is blocking @Muse calls. Amazon already blocked Muse entirely. This feels like short-term thinking from Apple / Amazon they’ll regret later.
